Your use of other BidOnUSA.com branded web sites will be governed by the User Agreement posted on those web sites.

Submitting a Site:

Do not submit mirror sites. Mirror sites are sites that contain identical content, but have altogether different URLs.
Do not submit URLs that contain only the same or similar content as other sites you may have listed in the directory. Sites with overlapping and repetitive content are not helpful to users of the directory. Multiple submissions of the same or related sites may result in the exclusion and/or deletion of those and all affiliated sites.
Do not disguise your submission and submit the same URL more than once. Example: http://www.bidonusa.com and http://www.bidonusa.com/index.html
Do not submit any site with an address that redirects to another address.
The BidOnUSA Directory Links has a policy against the inclusion of sites with illegal content. Examples of illegal material include child pornography; libel; material that infringes any intellectual property right; and material that specifically advocates, solicits or abets illegal activity (such as fraud or violence).
Do not submit sites "under construction." Wait until a site is complete before submitting it. Sites that are incomplete, contain "Under Construction" notices, or contain broken graphics or links aren't good candidates for the directory.
Submit pornographic sites to the appropriate category under Shopping/Adult.
Submit non-English sites to the appropriate category under World.
Don't submit sites consisting largely of affiliate links.
